Editor’s summary Cats are one of the most common companion animals in the world. Unfortunately, cancer is relatively common in cats, but it is not very well studied, and additional insights into feline cancers may help improve treatment for both pets and humans with similar diseases. To address this gap, Francis et al. sequenced paired tumor and normal tissues from almost 500 cats with 13 different tumor types, focusing on orthologs of human genes known to be involved in cancer.
